English: Collection of ten atomic
hydrogen-like single-electron
orbitals showing 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s, 4p, 4d and 4f orbitals. The
angular momentum quantum numberl is denoted in each column, using the usual
spectroscopic letter code ("s" means l=0; "p": l=1; "d": l=2; "f": l=3). The
main quantum numbern (=1,2,3,4,...) is marked to the right of each row. All orbitals are aligned along the z-axis and the
magnetic quantum numberm has been set to 0. The images are 3D renderings of the spatial density distribution of |𝜓|² with the color depicting the phase of 𝜓. The spatial distribution is smooth and vanishes for large radii. The cloud is a more realistic representation of an orbital than the more common solid-body approximations.
